Decolonising DMU

Dropping out of University


Listen Later

Universities around the country have resumed teaching whilst under the latest national lockdown in the UK - but it is a year like no other. In ordinary years Christmas is a point where some students will simply not return to their degrees. But with the added stress caused by Covid-19 on top of the other worries - will more students consider quitting?

This episode focuses on Black students who are more likely to drop out their degree programmes in the UK. We hear from a former DMU Media Production Graduate, Emmanuel Adeyemo, now Production Manager at Beat 103.6 FM in London and Associate Professor Mark Prescod on what De Montfort University is doing to support students.
